History and personal impacts of the Gaza conflict next two weeks on the Video 
Bus

In December 2023, Jewish Voice for Peace put together a forum over Zoom 
featuring four knowledgeable and engaging speakers. They all tied their 
talks to the current bombardment of Gaza by Israel following Hamas' attack 
on Israel in October 2023. Joel Benin, an emeritus Professor of Middle 
East History at Stanford University, gave an overview of the history of 
how the state of Israel was formed due to pressure from those who wanted 
to colonize the existing state of Palestine. Mohammed Nabil, who lives in 
Portland and is an advocate for Palestinian rights, spoke about being from 
Gaza and how his family has suffered from the ongoing conflict.  Wael 
Elasady, a co-founder of SUPER (Students United for Palestinian Equal 
Rights) at Portland State University, spoke about how the Israelis 
continually violate human rights and international law with the backing of 
the United States. Noa Grayevsky shared her journey from a Palestinian 
Jewish youth indoctrinated into unquestioning support for Israel to 
anti-Zionism.

This event began as a live event at the Friends Meeting House in Portland, 
but was re-created for presentation on KBOO Community Radio by Emma Lugo, 
who provided the video. The Flying Focus show was produced and edited by 
Dan Handelman.
